WHO WE ARE
THE ARMY'S VISION AND STRATEGY
OUR MISSION
OUR PURPOSE REMAINS CONSTANT
To deploy, fight and win our nation’s wars by providing ready, prompt and sustained land dominance by Army forces across the full spectrum of conflict as part of the joint force.
The Army mission is vital to the Nation because we are the service capable of defeating enemy ground forces and indefinitely seizing and controlling those things an adversary prizes most – its land, its resources and its population.
THE ARMY OF 2030
As the Army comes out of the conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan and refocuses on the pacing challenge of China and the acute threat posed by Russia, Army leaders are directing the most significant reorganization and technical innovation since the end of the Cold War — ensuring our adversaries cannot outrange or outpace us on traditional battlefields, or the new frontiers of space and cyberspace.
The world is changing, and the Army is changing with it.
Our people are the centerpiece of the Army.

The Army Strategy
Readiness, Modernization and Reform
The Army Strategy articulates how the Total Army achieves its objectives defined by the Army Vision and fulfills its Title 10 duties. In support of the National Defense Strategy, the Army Strategy describes how the Army will build a more lethal force to retain overmatch in order to deter, and defeat if necessary, all potential adversaries.
The Army People Strategy
Managing Our Most Important Asset
The Army People Strategy is the roadmap the U.S. Army will use to build a twenty-first century talent-based personnel management system, reform essential quality of life programs and build cohesive teams that are ready, professional, diverse and integrated for the Joint Force. The Total Army will acquire, develop, employ and retain the diversity of Soldier and Civilian talent needed to achieve Total Army readiness.
The Army Medical Modernization Strategy
Transforming and modernizing the Army Health System
The Army Medical Modernization Strategy (AMMS) articulates how the Army Health System will modernize to provide highly adaptive and effective health care on and off future battlefields. AMMS will improve future medical preparedness, processes and resources by informing new formations, doctrine, organizations and training; materiel development, equipment modernization and procurement, and medical integration with signature modernization efforts; and leader development, education, recruiting, retention and talent management.
The Army Arctic Strategy
Regaining Arctic Dominance
The Army Arctic Strategy supports the 2019 DoD Arctic Strategy and lays out how the Army will generate, train, organize and equip the force to partner with Arctic allies and secure the national interests. The Total Army strategy adapts how the Army executes extended, multi-domain operations in extreme conditions to support the joint warfighter, which demonstrates the Army’s resolve to securing national interests in the region.
The Army Climate Strategy
Enhancing Army readiness, resiliency and capabilities
The Army Climate Strategy is the framework for a long-term endeavor to operationalize climate adaptation and mitigation across the Army. The strategy drives actions to enhance readiness, resiliency and capabilities of the force. By implementing the lines of effort outlined in the climate strategy, the Army will achieve the goals of a resilient and sustainable land force able to operate in all domains with effective adaptation and mitigation measures against climate change, consistent with Army modernization efforts.
Quality of Life Initiatives
Committed to improving the Army Family
Recognizing that our Soldiers, Civilians and families should have the best quality of life possible, the Army is reviewing the full range of its care, support, and enrichment programs, with an initial focus upon: housing and barracks, healthcare, childcare, spouse employment and permanent change of station moves.
